I Jump From Every Rooftop 065/365II Scott Rodgerson 2018

DIGITAL ARTIST: Steve McGhee

ABOUT THE ARTIST: Born and raised in London Ontario Canada, he grew up wanting to be a fireman... But as luck would have it, his teachers in Elementary and High School noticed that he had “artistic ability”. In grade 8, as he left the comforting walls of his beloved Lord Nelson Public, his homeroom teacher, Mr. Webster wrote in his yearbook, “Most likely to be designing cereal boxes”.

THEIR WORK: “My work reflects a personal interest in things human beings have little or no control over. We walk through life feeling like we’re indestructible, while in reality, we’re just the opposite. In the days and weeks following a major catastrophes,, people tend to reboot – we get shocked back into being human. That is to say, we react in an undeniably human way… whenever tragedy strikes in the world people come together to help those directly affected. It’s just too bad we have to be reminded that we’re human in such terrible ways.

My work is in no way intended to glorify or condone acts of terrorism or celebrate the loss of millions of souls who have perished in past events, rather it is a commentary on the frailty of human existence and made to honour the loved ones left behind to deal with their unbearable loss.” - Steve McGhee
